The customers at Saturday's mar­ ket were surprised and disappointed when there was no maple syrup offered. There are more trees tapped in the county than ever and the farmers are making syrup and evi­ dently keeping it for their own use. It was stated by some makers that it was more profitable to keep it for their own consumption than to place it on the market at $2.40 per gallon, the ceiling price on the ungraded product. There are still a number of trees tapped and with a good flow of sap townspeople still hold out hope for the opportunity to purchase some of the syrup as production increases. This week will likely see the peak in the making season. Y’S MEN’S CLUB HELD NIGHT FORfiLADIES A ladies' night was held by the Y’s Men’s Club Tuesday evening at the St. Charles Coffee Shop. Mothers and wives of Y’s Men on active ser­ vice were guests of the club. Miss Jean Macpherson was the speaker of the evening and gave an interest­ ing message of her experiences as chief hostess of the Canadian Y.M.C.A. in England. Miss MacPherson explained that I the object of starting these "leave clubs”, was to have a place for our boys in England which was really Canadian and would make them think of and feel at home. It was pointed out that in the earlier days of the war the housing situation was very bad for the thousands of men who were on leave in London. Hotels were very crowded and quite expen­ sive and it was no joke to find a ' lodging in the blackout. Miss MacPherson became the resi­ dent hostess of the first club opened and during the first year over 35,000 men were registered. In addition to being an information bureau for all activities of the theatre, art, music and sport in the city, recreations were suggested, picnics and im­ promptu parties were held, problems were discussed, sports leagues were formed and the boys made to feel at home. The speaker stated that she has received thousands of letters from boys, who are now in all parts of the world and wish to express their appreciation of their "home away from home.” "The effort, time and money has been repaid a thousandfold, as it has maintained the moral and well-being of these men,” the speaker said, in speaking of her contacts with men from all parts of Canada, Miss Mac­ Pherson said, “It's great to know the real Canada and it has made me very proud of my own countrymen." Mrs. James West introduced the speaker to the large gathering and Howard Horton expressed their appreciation. The toast to the ladies was proposed by Y'sman Willard Uns worth and Mrs. Jack Cryderman responded. Mr. Roger Reeves played his own accompaniment on the gui­ tar for two vocal numbers and Keith Geddie rendered two violin solos. These musical numbers were greatly appreciated. Howard Young led the sing song and a chorus led by Clar­ ence Kipp presented a novelty num­ ber. "You’ll Get Used To It.” Ross Bigham accompanied at the piano for these selections. Splendid congregations attended the 86th anniveisary services of the Ingersoll Baptist Church on Sunday. The services were inspirational from every aspect, the hymn singing, the anthems and special numbers by guest artists as well as the addresses by Professor R. J. McCracken, M.A., B.D., of McMaster University, Ham­ ilton. The morning service in charge of Rev, Geo. H. McLean. B.A., the mini­ ster of the church, was of special in­ terest. Professor McCracken, spoke I on “The Lost Radiance of the Chris­ tian Religion,” and delivered pow­ erful and thoughtful discourse to his hearers. The choir sang the anthem, “Gloria in Excelsis”, and a duet, “Love Divine.” by Mrs. J. W. Mc­ Kinney, soprano, and Mr. Douglas H. Martin, tenor, was very well ren­ dered and greatly assisted in the beauty- of the service. In the evening service, the con­ gregations of Trinity United Church and St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church, joined with the Baptist congregation, having withdrawn their vesper ser­ vices for the day. In this service with an almost cap­ acity congregation, the singing of the hymns and the entire service was full of inspiration.

EVERY ONE HAS A JOB TO DO And the job that we are asked to do is . . . save more, and lend more to our country. We are asked to let our country have the use of money that we do not need now. We will have the money later on to improve our farms and to buy stock and equipment; for new ’bams and silos; for new furnishings and conveniences for our homes. Invasion means high tension on the fighting frorits... combined operations ... thorough team work in every detail. And that call for greater action comes back to us at home. We have a job to do here, too’. We must all buy Victory Bonds. We have a responsibility"to our mates on the firing line. We can’t let them down. • When a gun goes into action every man has a job to do. Seconds count, and team work gets results. Training . . . endless training . . . gets efficiency that makes each man part of a perfect machine. But something more than efficiency is needed to make a top-rank fighting unit, There must be loyalty . . . that spirit of responsibility that each man feels toward his mates. We’ve got efficiency on the farm front ... we’re producing more, and with less help to do it. Keep up the teamwork that will make each one of us go all out to support our men on the fighting fronts. We too, are part of a fighting unit. , . citizens of a nation at war. We must not let our men on the fighting fronts down.

How Much Our Sailor*Do For UsThe Royal Navy—the BritishNavy, including, of course, ships ofthe Royal Canadian Navy—certainlyplayed its part in the winning of thewar in North Africa according to thestrong evidence recently given byFlight Lieutenant James Sinclair,M.P., of Vancouver, in the CanadianHouse of Commons.There would not have been a man,a plane, a gun, not even a tin ofbully beef in Libya but for the grace of the Royal Navy. Men, guns and planes were taken to Africa by the Royal Navy, includ­ ing ships of the Canadian Navy, the long way round via the Cape of Good Hope, the Red Sea and Egypt. "It was the Royal Navy that strangled Rommel, cut off his petrol and ammunition supplies in the Mediterranean and made the victory of El Alamein possible,’’ said the aviator. "It was the Royal Navy that hurled the heaviest artillery into the North African ports and that convoyed 3,200 ships of every size and shape safely across for the invasion of Italy,” Lieut. Sinclair said. The thought strikes us how depen­ dent all our efforts—those of the army and the air force—are, on our men of the seas—the sailors who, in their ships of the Royal Navy and the Royal Canadian Navy and ships of other countries in the British Commonwealth of Nations convoy our merchant ships, and the merchant seamen who work those merchant ships. How dependent we are on them for the success of the greatest venture in the name of right and liberty this world has ever known and yet for how little they depend on us. All they expect of us are a few comforts —woollens, magazines and a decent place ashore. Let’s help provide those things through the Navy League of Canada! —Navy League of Canada MOSSLEY ■pent the week-end with her parente,at their home here.Mrs Harry Etough of Paynes'Mills, spent several days of the pastweek with her mother, Mrs Bowen.Miss Dorothy Cutler spent theweek-end at her home in Coldstream.We are sorry to report that Mrs.Charles Venning of Mossley, is apatient at the Victoria Hospital, Lon­don.A large number from Mossleyattended the Women's InstituteBingo held in Harrietaville Hall onTuesday evening last.Mr and Mrs. Oldenburg and fam­ily from Kitchener, were week-endvisitors with Mr. and Mrs. Symonsand family.Mrs. Ettie Hartle spent part AtSunday with Mr. and Mrs. RaymondBeacham and son Francis of Dor­chester.A large number from Mossleyattended the shower held for Mr.and Mrs, Ernest Rowse at.

O T T A W AWEEK BY WEEK— By Doan Wilton —REVELATIONS OF SURVEYAn extremely lengthy report ofthe national health survey by theCanadian Medical Procurement andAssignment Board has been handeddown in Ottawa by the Minister of National Defence, Hon. J. L. Ral­ ston, and its contents have aroused widespread attention. Amongst its many disclosures this latest survey has made known that Canada had 12,235 doctork at the time that the important survey was conducted, that 3006 doctors were in the armed ser­ vices, that of the remainder 8614 were active, and that 615 were in retirement. Of the active doctors in Canada’s civil life, only 41.7 per cent were under 45 years of age at that time. Moreover, there was an average of one doctor to every 1261 persons in Canada and the number of persons to every doctor in the provinces was 1659 in Prince Ed­ ward Island, 1450 in Nova Scotia, 2136 in New Brunswick, 1206 in Quebec, 1068 in Ontario, 1438 in Manitoba, 2078 in Saskatchewan, 1626 in Alberta, and 1168 in Brit­ ish Columbia. This survey has also shown that Canada had 52,483 grad­ uate nurses and of these 45.5 per cent were in Ontario, 14.9 per cent in Quebec, 10.2 per cent in lhe Mari­ time Provinces, and 29.4 per cent in the Western Provinces, including the Northwest Territories and the Yukon In regard to dentists the report has indicated that there were 3284 den­ tists or one for every 3477 persons in Canada, with 1019 dentists having joined the Canadian Dental Corps. BACKGROUND OF FIRM STAND There is no doubt whatsoever in Ottawa why lhe Government of Can­ ada had taken such a determined, re­ solute stand against Premier Eamon de Valera’s Government in Ireland in its request for Canada's interven­ tion on the United States demand for the expulsion of Axis diplomatic agents from Ireland in order to pre­ vent any leakage of information which might prove harmful to the cause of the United Nations. The Government of Canada had held the view’ that these Axis diplomatic agents in Ireland‘would take full advantage of their privileges against the interests of the United Nations so that the Government in Ottawa was in complete sympathy with the purposes of the action of the Gov­ ernment in Washington in making such requests upon the Eire Govern­ ment. that a report has been made in Par­liament that 418,532 men had beenordered to report for military train­ing and that 238,277 postponementsfrom military training had beengranted, though these included all men who had been given two or more postponements. CHANGES BY DEGREES ONLY It is pointed out in Ottawa that any relaxation of the wartime con­ trols or easing up of the restrictions during the balance of the war are not going to be sudden and sharp but rather by degrees as soon as conditions allow, with this being done in the best interest of the masses as well as for any other rea­ son. This is stressed now in view of some wrong impressions which have followed quickly in the wake of cer­ tain recent relaxations, notably the temporary suspension of meat rationing or the removal of restrict­ ions in the supply of beer since the Federal Government’s actions in these cases received a tremendous amount of publicity, particularly in the case of “beer” which brought about a heated, controversial issue between the Prime Minister of Can­ ada and Premier George Drew of Ontario. TRAVELLLING EXPENSES A Progressive-Conservative repre­ sentative has complained in Parlia­ ment that the travelling expenses of some members of the Department of Agriculture were unreasonable and that the expenses of some mem­ bers of the Prairie Farm Rehabilita­ tion Act inspection staff were from $300 to $1800 a year. During the course of his reply, the Minister of Agriculture, Hon. James Gardiner, stated in part that he was proud that his travelling expenses were amongst the highest of any Minister. “I make no apologies whatever for having an expense account of $2600 during the year 1942-1943”, said this Minister who argued that no inspec­ tor of his Department “would be worth his salt” if the man 'did not have a proper expense account since it was generally assumed that a proper man on the road should have an expense account at least equal to his salary, insisting at the same time that the travelling expenses of his Department were just about what they were under various Administra­ tions.

This, in brief, was the declaration in Parliament of Canada’s Minister of Air, Hon. C. G.

In addition, he re­ vealed that moves were being taken to give Canadian airmen training in warfare against the Japanese.

He stressed that the spruce budworm had already 15,000 square miles of timber to its credit and threatened 40,000 more in Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick. —(Reproduction Prohibited.)

Need is UrgentNorman Evins, honorary H?cre-tary, reviewed all phases of work'within the Division. Speaking of the 'vast amount of work accomplishedby Women’s War Work Committee, he said that the necessity was never more urgent than at present for ’ every branch to double its efforts inproviding more and more supplies. 1 The Prime Minister of Ontario, iHonorable George A. Drew, was! guest speaker at the annual luncheon. . The Lieutenant-Governor and Mrs. Albert Matthews were present when Badges of Service were awarded to over one hundred members who had given long and distinguished service to Red Cross. Mr. Justice P. H. Gor­ don, chairman of the National Execu­ tive Committee officiated at this ceremony. Canadian Red Cross Sotiety £« Holds Annual Meeting “We who work in an emergency organization know that foresight is essential to success,” Mrs. Arthur W. Ellis declared in her presidential address to the 24th annual meeting of the Ontario Division, Canadian Red Cross Society at the Royal York Hotel, Toronto. March 29th. “Look­ ing ahead into the coming year we j realize that wc face at this moment the greatest battles of the war. So fur as may be, we are prepared with hospital supplies and comforts and workers to meet the call which b certain to be made on us. But having these, and conscious that these stores must be maintained at all times, we must look ahead to the next step." Mrs. Ellis pointed out that only 70 of the present 465 branches in the Division functioned actively before the war. All others were new to the permanent work of Red Cross. Big­ gest job facing all the branches was the care of returning service men, in which Red Cross must be prepared to give leadership. Care of the sick and wounded was the special func­ tion of Red Cross. Red Cross organ­ ization within the province must be perfected so that every’ section of Ontario might share in the develop­ ment of a great program for the promotion of health which would carry into the future. “It will be sad for the" Red Cross and for the people of Ontario if we do not main­ tain this great voluntary organiza­ tion for the betterment of our own people." “The financial statement of the Division at the end of the year 1943 is better than at any time since the outbreak of war," said Alan L. Am-1 I brose, Hamilton, honorary treasurer. | presenting the finance report al the I meeting. Total receipts from the 1943 campaign and from voluntary contributions made throughout the year amounted to $5,592,004.30. Re­ ceipts from Branch fund-raising events and under Permit "C” were I $199,280.51. From salvage cam­ paigns and other miscellaneous sour­ ces came $97,692.41. ' The sum of $330,668.40 for designated war pur­ poses was received, making the total raised in the Division in 1943 for all purposes. $6,217,645.72. Branches remitted to Division fifty per cent more than in 1942, or $4,730,915.47. Despite an increase in the percentage which blanches pay' to Division, branches met theiy obligation in this respect better than in any previous year since the outbreak of war. Nearly all met the obligations, and many overpaid. Cost of the Blood Donor Service for the year was $312,686.20. double that of last year, and it was anticipated that cost of this service would be even greater in 1944. The amount of $661,329.50 was spent for peacetime work. The largest peacetime ^undertaking was the operation of Outpost Hospitals and nursing stations, net cost to the division, after credit of government giant being $39,357.13. Women’. War Work Mrs. John C. Fraser, chairman of ! the Ontario Women's War Work I Comittee, announced that in 1943 ; women in Red Cross branches all over the province made 5,676,061 articles, including 4,002,618 hospital supplies, 411,692 comforts for armed services and women’s auxiliaries, and 696,004 items of civilian clothing. A total of 4,779,798 such articles were shipped out from the Ontario Receiv­ ing depot to men and women in the services in Canada, Newfoundland, and overseas; to hospitals at home and abroad, to nurseries and hostels in Britain, as well as for Russian and Greek relief. This impressive total included 19,299 items destined for capture parcels, the first link with home for the newly Raptured soldier in enemy hands. Over 14,000 items went into “survivors" bundles, pack­ ages of mercy for the men of the navy. There were in addition, 455,- 648 hospital supplies and knitted comforts distributed by branches from their own stock to military hos­ pitals and military units. Since war’s beginning up to the present time.1 wonKii of Ontario have made a total of 10,848,488 articles and these were not ‘little bits of sewing’ but women's suits, top coats, sweaters, stockings, nearly a yard long, sheets and dress­ ing gowns, as well as a million quilts. In the little more than two years since Ontario had been running its own warehouse, 3,603,566 yards, and 520,143 pounds have been shipped to the branches, total value of such goods being $1,579,831. Outposts of Mercy General shortage of medical men throughout Ontario being more acute' in sparsely settled districts raised to paramount importance the facilities provided by Red Cross Outpost Hos­ pitals in 28 Ontario communities. Mrs. Wallace Campbell, Windsor, re-, porting for this committee, said they had been faced with difficulty of* maintaining nursing and medical staffs. Outpost hospital plan includes 17 general hospital centers, in 5 of which a public health service is in-i eluded, and 11 one-nurse Outposts, with an intensive public health pro­ gram once the in-patients have been cared for. In 9 of these districts there is no resident medical prac­ titioner, nearest physician being 10 to 40 miles distant. The Red Cross hospital car is at Armstrong, provid- i ing a much-needed service.

Report of the Visiting I Housekeepers Committee, presented! by Mrs. James Coulter, Windsor, in­ dicated that the facilities of the visit­ ing housekeepers service were in in­ creasing demand, especially by .fam­ ilies of members of the armed services. More than 2000 attended nutrition classes. The Jam Commit­ tee, co-operating with Women’s Insti­tutes, shipped 107 /tons of jam over-! seas for use in military hospitals,' nurseries and hostels'. In 1943, Nutri­ tion Department again supervised, for.the government, 17 farm service camps. ' ^Nursing Committee Teaching of Home Nursing con­ tinues to be one of the major nur­ sing activities of Red Cross in On­ tario. During the past year, 700, courses were completed in Ontario with enrolment of 14,482. Activities of this department, said the chair­ man, Miss Florence H. M. Emory, Toronto, have expanded to embrace three /different phases of nursing, and' last year arrangements were Completed for teaching First -Aid, at classes provided by R«T Cross. Those completing course will recejve" certi­ ficates 'issued by thy St. John Red Cross board. Membership of the Em­ ergency Nursing Reserve now num­ bers between 84)00 and 9000. Miss Margaret Dulmage has been appeln- ted director of Nursing for Ontario, I Division, with Miss Ann Sayer as associate director. Home Nursing, ' First Aid and Emergency Reserve will function through four district leaders; Mrs. R. F. Langler, Sarnia; Sarnia; Mrs. A, C. Mackenzie, Beav­ erton; Miss Beatrice Moreland, King- . ston, Mrs. Hugh Campbell, Orillia. Blood Donor Service Greatest expansion of any single project within the Division was noted in the Blood Donor Service, chairman Russell T. Kelley reported. Organ­ ized in 1940 for the collection of blood to provide serum for war casu­ alties on every front, clinics were I first established in several of the larger centers. Service in the On­ tario Division now provides perman­ ent clinics in practically all cities for blood donations while towns and vil­ lages are served by a fleet of seven mobile clinics. These facilities have made it possible to increase the num­ bers of donors passing through the clinics of Ontario from 4,800 a week at the beginning of 1943, to 12,000 a week at the present time. Dominion quota is 20.000 weekly by April 1 — Ontario, 11,500—but Ontario has been exceeding that since January of' this year. Publicity Red Cross owed much to the gen-<erous co-operation of the publishers' of Ontario, stated Major James Bax­ ter, presenting his report on publi-' city. Much of the success of the 1943 and 1944 campaign was due to the great contribution made by the i organization heeded by E. P. Taylor, this sales director, Ian R. Dowie, and their sales force. Canadian Red Cross Corps There are 28 detachments of the Canadian Red Cross Corps in On-, tario with total personnel of 2420, an increase of 400. Training hours for the year were 155,000, service hours 500,000, said C. Q. Ellis, chairman [ of Corps Advisory Committee. There are 113 Ontario Corps members ser- > ving overseas. 96 in Great Britain, 14 j in the theatre of operations and 3 in j Newfoundland, drawn from 12 cen- j ters in the province. Over 600 Corps members have joined the active ser­ vices. Members of all Sections serve in many capacities. Next-of-kin There are some 1500 prisoners of war from the Province of Ontario in Bears in the National Parks Among the great attractions afforded by Canada’s national parks is the opportunity to see wild animals in their natural surroundings, but cured of the fear of man. All nation­ al parks are wild life sanctuaries. The animals soon learn that man will not harm them, and they become very tame. Sometimes, particularly in the case of bears, this proves to be their undoing. The public loves to feed bears, and otherwise to fraternize with them. Notices in the parks and in the parks literature asking them not to do so have little effect. Perhaps, if they understood that being "kind” to a bear is the most unkind thing they can do to him, the park regula­ tions would be better observed. Instances abound where bears had been petted until they became so bold and troublesome that they had to be destroyed. In Waterton Lakes National Park, a mother bear and her two cubs, which had been pampered by tourists, tore the screen door off a cottage while the family were out and helped themselves to some freshly-baked pies. They also knocked over and damaged the ice­ box; food, glassware, and china were destroyed. It became necessary to shoot the mother bear, and it is feared that the same treatment may yet have to be given the cubs. In another instance, two little cubs were apparently trying; to climb a tree, and two little girls tried to give them a helping hand. Just then the mother bear appeared and cuffed one of the children on the cheek with such violence that medical attention was required, and the girl may carry a scar for life. In Prince Albert National Park, in Saskatchewan, a man was about to enter his cabin when he saw the rear end of a -bear protruding from the corner of the building. Realizing that the bear was eating out of the garbage can, he thought it would it would be a wonderful opportunity to surprise him. Thereupon he picked up a piece of 2" x 4", and, sneaking up on the bear, gave it a hefty wal­ lop. Quick as a flash the bear whip-1 ped around and struck at his ■ attacker, who wasn’t quite quick enough in getting away. Fortunately the man lost only part of his cloth­ ing, and was able to get into the cabin before the bear could land Cotton Blouses$1.35 eachSo indispensable in today’s wardrobe is a slubcotton blouse.

The black bear is one of the most playful and humorous of all animals, but he is still a bear. He does not seek man’s company in the first place, and when it is thrust upon him, he is likely to abuse it. If he is pampered he expects more pam­ pering. If he is given half a pie he will take the other half, if it is with­ in the reach of his powerful paws. Then there are complaints that he has become a nuisance, and he is shot. And it really is not his fault —National Parks Bureau, Ottawa. Carpetball League Results Following are the games played in the Carpetball League last Friday night: S.O.E. North Side T. Coombes D.

Some girts wear smart print dresses all day, some wear war-service uniforms, others business plaids, and others denim jeans. Their problem is shared by every woman—how can they keep their clothes in order. They want an answer to. “Which one of my dresses is clean, pressed and ready to wear?” Its' true that regular care makes the problem easier. That is: always use a hanger for your clothes, turn inside out and air them frequently, brush daily, and keep fasteners sewn on securely. But to be well-groomed send them ‘ to the dry cleaners regularly—never let pressing take the place of laun­ dering or dry-cleaning. Keeping clothes clean and fresh is one of the first rules for looking well dressed, i as well us for making clothes last 1 longer. ■ Then press often, to keep looking I well groomed. Begin with the j sleeves. It is easiest to press them Ion the right side; but, of course, you should use a pressing cloth to pre­ vent shine. If you have a sleeve board or an ironing board with a narrow end, you can easily press the[ thick cap of the sleeve over, it Other- ! wise, roll up a small Turkish towel and slip it inside the shoulder and I the cap of the sleeve, and press thesej sections. Then move the towel down I and press the sleeve. This will avoid . creasing. Turn the dress inside out. I Now press the fabric itself. In press- | ing woollens or crepe weaves, use ■ an up-and-down stamping motion to j prevent stretching; but with smooth j fabrics press with an ironing motion. Never forget to press the seams flat, for this is what gives your dress a trim, well-tailored look. Now turn to the right side, and finish pockets, double thickness, and trimmings, us­ ing the pressing cloth to avoid shine. Keeping trimmings trim. Collars and cuffs and dickeys make us trim and spruce-looking when they are crisp and immaculate. Us*-starch to keep them perky. Put about tbsps. in a gallon of water and dip in after rinsing—and iron the pieces while still damp. To keep that original, snowy look I with white accessories, use a bleach. (Do not use bleach on silk or wool.) Follow directions on the bottle of bleach for the light amount. Soak the pieces for 15 minutes and rinse several* times. Before you wear a new dress or coat, go over all the buttons with strong thread. Another tip on good grooming, is to keep hat veils press­ ed, belts clean and uncrushed. Take a tip: 1. Don’t drop your iron. 2. Don’t chafe the cord. 3. Don't use a cord with a loose plug. I 4. Dont’ let starch "(>-4>il collect on sole plate. 5, Don’t let cord touch hot iron. 6. Don’t leave connected when not in use. 7. Don’t iron over buttons and fasteners. C. A. OSBORN, M.D., L.M.C.C- PHYSICIAN and Surgeon. Surgeryand diseases of women a specialty.

When transparent and red it is called ruby. When transparent and any other colour it is sapphire. TOPAZ FOR NOVEMBER We usually think of topaz as being yellow in colour. According to auth­ orities at the Royal Ontario Museum, it is not necessarily so. It is often colourless or light blue. The yellow variety, however, is the one most commonly cut as gems.

Think of that,Since inception the Department ofMunitions and Supply have awardedten billion dollars in war contracts,some of which are still unfulfilled,and requisitions for additional weap­ons and supplies are being put through every day. Canada reached in 1943 the biggest record of do­ mestic exports in history, an increase of 221.3 per cent over 1939, but more than 70 per cent of this amount was, of course, directly re­ lated to war needs.

The regulations lim­ iting the use of private comercial trucks to a 35-mile distance from their home address without special permit does not apply to farmers using their own trucks. By April 1, when the new gasoline ration yearstarts, the Prices Board figures thatevery milk-transporting truck exceptthat of the farmer hauling his ownproduct will be under zoned permit.On the basis of these permits thegasoline requirements of each routewill be calculated, for the protectionof the dairy industry as a whole. Ac­cording to the Board estimates, zonedcollections have resulted in reduct­ions up to 44 per cent in number oftrucks used, with consequent large savings in gas, rubber and equip­ ment.

Reason: to locate persons evading call-up regulations. . . . Soon 30,000 government em­ ployees will have undergone the X- Ray checkup to determine prevalence of tuberculosis. • • • Now that shipping from the West Indies is somewhat improved the question is often asked why more sugar is not brought into the coun­ try. We sought an answer and got this from the Consumer Branch in Ottawa. When rationing began, ship­ ping difficulties caused short supply. The world pool of sugar which stood at two million tons a year was down to half that at the end of 1943. From this pool Canada must import four-fifths of her sugar supply. The world pool was set, of course, by Great Britain, United States and Canada. The U. S. needs 800,000 tons this year for one thing alone, for industrial alcohol used in pro­ duction of high priority war and civilian materials such as synthetic rubber. And with each piece of terri­ tory liberated, the demand on the sugar pool increases and when free­ dom comes to Europe as a whole, the need wiM be more desperate. From the Dominion Department of Agriculture comes this item im­ portant to many areas in Canada. Farmers who supplied milk to cheese factories before Sept. 30, 1943, and who are now selling to fluid milk distributors, creameries, and to con­ centration plants, are required to resume deliveries to cheese factories as soon as possible.' ’the Agricultural Food Board says that those farmers who were selling cream to. creamer­ ies, dr milk to concentration plants, before Sept. 30, 1943, are required to resume sales to their former mar­ kets or to other dairy’ products manu­ facturers between now and April 30th. Purchasers of milk are respon- • sible for making these adjustments. Since meat rationing was suspen­ ded fanners can slaughter livestock without permit for direct sale to any household consumer for personal or household consumption; but they cannot sell direct to butchers or quota users such as hotels or res­ taurants without permit, and they have to continue to stamp meat slaughtered and comply with previous defatting regulations. Farm workers who have Wioved from their homes to essential em­ ployment during the winter will be drifting back -shortly now.

As CanaJa swings its mighty weight along into the fifth year of Realism...now and after the war TATE hear a great deal these days about postwar planning. V V Some of it seems sound and practical, and some of it is “crystal gazing.” While literally hundreds of public and private agencies are thinking of postwar planning, there are a few things that realistic individuals are sure of. They know that first and foremost the war has to be won and nothing should interfere with all-out efforts toward this end. They know that economic tides ebb and flow; that the future, like the past, will experience good times and bad; that when bad times come, many people will face economic hardships. They know that they, like everyone else, are growing older; that the life of any individual is uncertain; and that in accordance with the immutable l^ws of nature, heads of families will continue to pass on. Knowing these things, some 30 million people insured by Metropolitan in Canada and the United States are providing definite measures of protection against these uncertainties of life through some 29 billion dollars of life insurance. In addition to providing an anchor to windward for the individuals involved and for their families, the thrift of these policyholders is bound to be of a stabilizing character during the postwar period. This is Postwar Realism of the highest order.

EVENINGS Of Interest to Women Try a Colorful Hair Net When spring demands something a little different in hair-do’s, why not try a smart coloured hair net? These nets will be shown in a variety of colours, and add the final touch to last year’s hat, or your brand-new Easter bonnet. Just tuck your curls in red, green, or pink, and perch your hat on top. You’ll find the col­ oured net on the street, at the beach, or at parties—with or with­ out a hat. Inexpensively priced, the nets come in both fine mesh and sturdier snood types. They suit all hair styles—whether short or long bob, chignon or upswept hair-do. As trimness is a “must”, see that hair is shining and smooth, and keep nets fresh with frequent dipping in gentle fine-fabric suds. Instead of using combs to restrain unruly strands of hair, tuck your net up high, trimming it with ribbons, flowers or jewelled dips, for the last work in a sleek, pretty coiffure.

And with the wide choice of materials available, any woman can make smarter, prettier ones than she can buy these days. Start with a simple bath curtain. Many large stores carry curtaining with a waterproof finish. If you are unable to get this, try a closely- woven heavy fabric such as duck, woven chambray or ticking that can be easily washed in soapy-rich suds. The average bath curtain being about six feet square, get four yards of material, seam it down the middle with an overlap seam and hem top and bottom. Put bottom hem on the outside. Make eyelets in the top for cur­ tain rings about eight inches apart. For that “different” look—buy cute coloured curtain rings, for sale in any notions department. Members of the Avalon Chapter.

From Lake Placid, year-round sports playground, comes tips on how to protect your complexion from changeable weather. Begin the day, they tell us, with your favourite whipped cream lather facial, fol­ lowed by a generous application of soothing hand lotion—the lotion penetrates the pores, and protects delicate complexions from chapping. And with an eye to the new back­ less, sleeveless fashions, don’t forget to use a good lubricating cream on face, neck and shoulders as well, after exposure to wind and sun. If the skin is not as clear as you’d like, waken it to a smooth glow with, a brisk back brush rubbing, L» part of your daily routine. To Clean Eye-Glasses Here’s a tip for gals wno glasses—to keep them really ___ and shining, try rubbing with a cloth dipped in rich, greuse-dissolv- suds to which a teaspoon of ammonia powder has been added. You'll find the mixture of suds and ammonia does wonders for completely demov­ ing the dull film that clings to eye­ glasses and which even the hardest rubbing with a dry cloth will not remove.

Farm Leave Allowed Only To Aid Relative Members of the armed forces will be eligible to apply for farm leave only if they wish to return to the farm of a blood relative, according to military authorities. Leave will be granted only in cases where hardship will result in the ab­ sence of the soldier, and above all, i granting of leaves will depend upon conditions in the service. It is not expected that there will be any great quantity of farm leaves granted this year in this dis­ trict. Officials pointed out that farm leaves were not to be confused with the “detailing” of members of the armed services to farms. If an acute shortage of manpower develops, and soldiers are needed to harvest a crop before It spoils, army authorities are empowered to “detail” their men to farms for short periods. The re­ quirements of blood relationship do not apply in this case, they said. Banner Farm Forum Banner—The Farm FoYum meeting wa/ held oh Monday, - night in the Sunday School nrtm. J.

Snow scenes, for example, candramatically tell the story of theyear's record storm. With little ef­ fort, you can usually find grotesque or fascinating formations of snow In the trees, shrubs, and fences, orhuge drifts which, shifting like sanddunes of the desert, show the forceand magnitude of the stornu^_ If, during the day, good* fortune favors you and the sun bursts forth' with strength enough to melt thesnow on the trees, you can- snap­pictures of the glistening crystalsof -Ice and snow against a back­ ground of blue sky. When taking such pictures, you will get greater contrast between the trees and skyif you use a medium yellow filterover the lens at the camera. This will darken the sky and result inmore dramatic effects. It Isn’t necessary, however,‘ towait for a record-breaking storm to get an appealing winter snapshot The picture above illustrates thatquite effectively. But you should remember that aacene beautiful to the eye can beruined If Improperly exposed. On clouded or gray days, you will have to give longer exposures by opening the lens to a larger aperture, re­ ducing the shutter speed, or per­ haps both. For instance, let’s assume that on the average summer day you wouldset your lens at f/11 and the shut­ter at 1/25 of a second for a pictureunder normal sunlight On a clouded or gray day in the winter, you would probably have to set the diaphragm opening at f/8 or, if tho day wereunusually dull, at f/6.3. If, however, you preferred to geta little more depth of field—sharp­ness of both near and far objects In your snapshot—you could shoot -at f/11 and set your shutter speedat'1/10 of a second. When snappinga picture at 1/10 of a second you had bettor place your camera on a solid object for otherwise a slight movement of the camera may blurthe picture Image. zNo set rules can be made for shut­ter speed or diaphragm openingsunder all the conditions you mayencounter. A snapshooter must use his own judgment, gained* by ex­perience, but you can rest assuredof one thing: under normal winterlighting, with no snow on the ground to aid In reflecting light, you will have to give longer expo­ sures to properly record your sub­ject With plenty of sun and withsnow on tho ground yon should use a smaller lens opening than youwould normally.
